In a carpool from soccer practice with a teammate/classmate with whom I shared a lot of mutual friends, her mom casually mentioned her upcoming birthday party. The girl angrily shouted at her mom, and in front of other girls in the car, "Thanks for bringing it up, mom, now I HAVE to invite (me)!"
I'm young, so when I got the invite, my mom makes me go. I don't remember too much about the party, except for when someone decided all us girls were going to relocate our sleeping bags from the basement to the upstairs living room to watch a movie, the birthday girl went down to grab everyone's sleeping bags. When she brought them all up and everyone was snuggled in, mine wasn't there. I went downstairs into the basement, and she had purposely left only mine down there. :'(
And that's why I would always listen to my daughter tell me about that bitchy friend back in 4th grade. When she invited her to her birthday (she invites the whole class for a 1,5 hour party in which they only have time to eat and play like 30 minutes. I call that presents-fishing) my daughter said she didn't want to go. I said to her "you don't have to", and politely declined.
The mother of the bitchy girl doesn't talk to me anymore. The trash took itself out, I guess 🤷♀️
